Marks Finest Papers August Blog Hop- Day 3

By


Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company

August Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are

Thanks for stopping by for day 3! We are playing with our keys today. Unfortunately, I always seem to misplace mine. But these keys are not going anywhere, lol.

I wanted to try a Clean and Simple Card. There is a tutorial on MFPS ning site
(a whole list of fabulous tutorials over there!!!) using a clear stamp block so instead I thought to try something different.  I used a pink BIC marker to scribble a background color and then framed it in with a die cut.


I did the sweet matching lock on the inside of the card.

My Card Tip: Use a Pearl Pen to simple dots. You can make them any size you want, small or larger and it keeps it puffy form when it dries. An A+ recommendation for your scrap desk.

Hope to see you tomorrow for our last day!!!!

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you.

Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
